SEVERAL CRUSHED TO DEATH. Herolc Work Done by Rescuers In Cincinnati During the Intense Heat. CINCINNATI, Oxnro, July 17.—At1:45 o’clock this afternoon fire broke out in the four-story building on Water streetjust east of the suspension bridge, occupied by Hermesch ,& Co., and spread so rapidly that Bookkeeper Simpson had to jump from the second stor; The fire d to the five-story tobacco warehouse of Seaman & Co, at 23 and 25 Front street, Smith’s five-story warehouse, Front street, 'and Klein & Quirk’s four-story commission-house, 19 W 1t steeet. So fierce did the fire burn that the firemen despaired of saving Nel- son Morris' warehouse, but they finally succeeded in doing it. The heat was intense and severalifiremen were prostrated. The suspension bridge was endangered, but prompt work saved it. An hour after the fire started the esch walls began to fall and were followed by those of other build- 1 only the Klein & Quirk build- ing was intact. Several companies were sent to the rear of this structure to play on the del and adjacent property. had been rumors of the dangerous condition of this buiiding, £nd they were speedily veritied. The smoke and steam ured from view the remaining walls from the firemen working beneath them, and they did not see them rock and sway a fall minute before they came crashing down. Many spectators saw the danger, but not in time to warn the firemen. The walls buried almost a score of fire- men. As soon as possible every man rushed to the spot, the fire was forgotten, and superhuman efforts were made to re- move the debris. Captain Healey of No. 29 and Pipeman Jack Misbey, whose father was once chief and was killed in a collision, were taken out dead. The injured are: Pipeman Ed Newman, Captain Neal, Fireman Grove, Substitute J. B. Bradford, Pipeman Ben Teppen, Cap- tain Pete Purcell, of Hook 7; Pipeman Mike Kieley, Driver Bart Fanning, of Hook 7; William Dolan, of Hook 7; Wil- liam Thompson, of Hook 11; Mike Mc- v, of Company 4; Walter Hammond, of Hook 10; Jim Hanks, of Company 4; John Mullen, of Company Lem West- cott, of Company 14; F. Cunningham, of Company 1; Will Beebe, of Company 10; Substitute Innis, of Comvpany 4; Ed An- thony, of Company 29. At midnight all of the injured were rest- ing easy, and none were expected to die. The entire loss will be about 200,000, nsured. x months ago, with the thermometer 20 degrees below, a great fire swept the op- te corner. To-day the temperature was 97. The fire was caused by a roustabout unintention- ally droppine a lighted match into the basement of the feed warehouse. JUDGE DUNDY STRICKEN. The Noted Jurist Suffered a Stroke of Apoplexy. OMAHA, Nesr., July 17.—Judge Dundy, who is lying at his home with a broken leg, was stricken with congestive apoplexy last evening, and for a short time his fam- ily were terribly alarmed. His right arm was somewhat affected and he was uncon- s The irritation to the brain made the Judge delirious until an early hour this morning, when that sort of annoyance also passed away and he slept naturally. He is now weak from the feverishness, but his physician predicts that he will not suf- fer E\umancm y from the effects of the at- tack. Judge Dundy, whose active life in hunt- ing, horseback riding and other outdoor exercise has made him a rugged man, is of full habit, and the theory is that the confinement to the house since he broke his leg at Hot Springs, S. D., brought on this stroke of apoplexy ST T0 BE PARDONED. LEUVEN The Famous Pension Agent Dying in the | Penitentiary. DES MOINES, Iowa, July 17.—There is a good chance that George M. Leuven, the famous pension agent of Lime Springs, whose frands and subsequent trial made him famons, will be pardoned by Presi- dent Cleveland. TLeuven's health has been wrecked ‘since he was confined a few months ago in' the Anamosa Penitentiary for a long term. As a result of efforts of friends to secure E“don' it is anmnounced the matter has een referred to United States Attorney Bells, who prosecuted him, to recommend what should be done. Sells is investigat- ing, and it is expected that he will grant the pardon. Leuven weighed 200 pounds when confined ; now he weighs 115. e can never recover, and will die soon if not released. et BOTH THROWN TO DEATH. An Engineer and Fireman Killed by an Accident.

FERDINAND WAS ACCUSED Charged by a Sofia Paper With Inciting the Attack on Stambuloff. MRES. A Representative of the Prince Re~ fused an Audience by the Ex- Premler’s Wife. BULGARIA, Sora, July 17.—The condi- tion of ex-Premier Stambuloff was slightly improved this morning. He is perfectly conscious and is able to personally thank M. Petkoff for his effortsin his defense when attacked by his assailants. Stambuloff was able to identify the per- sons who attacked him, and has given their names to the aunthorities. Count Goluchowski, Prime Minister of Austria, has telegraphed from Vienna to Mme, Stambuloff a message of sympathy, and all the foreign Consuls in Sofia have commu- nicated similar expressions. The most serious of the wounded man’s symptoms arise from the great loss of blood and the po: ility that meningitis may supervene, Stambuloff’s coachman has been arrested on suspicion of connection with the assas- sins who attacked the ex-Premier. The sus- picion is strengthened by his readiness to stop the carriage when ordered to by his master's assailants. A representative of Prince Ferdinand called at the residence of M. Stambuloff to- day to express the sovereign’s sympathy and condolence, but Mme. Stambuloff re- fused to receive him or hold any commu- nication with him. None of the Ministers has called to in- quire as to M. Btambuloff’s condition. The Svoboda, M. Stambuloff's organ, of which M. Petkoff is editor, bluntly accuses Prince Ferdinand and_the Government of bringing about the crime. The condition of the wounded man is now much worse. e SPANISH FORCES ROUTED.

KEY WEST, Fra., July 17.—The revo- lution in the Santiago de Cuba district is increasing every day. Within the last three days more than a hundred men from the common classes have left this city to join the insurgents, and of the elite, a number of the most distinguished men have also gone. Among the latter are the following: Dr. Joaguin Castillo Duany, graduate of the Pennsylvania University, and who served in the American navy (he was the phy- sician appointed in 1881 to go on board the odgers on the relief expedition sent out by the United States to the north pole in search of the Jeannette); Pedro Aguilera,a civil engineer, who graduated at ‘I'roy, and who was surperintendent of the Bpanish- American Mining Company. His brother, Eugenio Aguilera, is chief engineer of the Jurugua Iron Company here. The two last named are sons of Francisco Aguilera, a rich Cuban gentleman who was Vice- President of the Cuban redpuhlic during the ten years’ war, and who died in New York during the latter part of that war. Dr. Felipe Feranes, a rich and prominent physician of this city, has also gone. —_—— STEADY UNIONIST GAINS. A Decreased Liberal Vote in Nearly Every Distriot.

Precautions to Avoid Damages in a Slander Case Caused the Trouble. COMPLICATIONS THAT ENSUED. Nearly Eighty Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Realty Which the Plaintiff Claims. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 17.—An order was granted by Judge Stover in Supreme Court chambers to-day allewing Mrs. Fan- nie 8. Robinson of 342 West Fifty-ninth street permission to serve the summons upon her sister by publication in anaction which she had brought against her sister, Mrs. Agnes M. Schimitt of 609 Eddy street, San Francisco. Mrs. Robinson is suing her sister to re- cover about $80,000. She claims she was induced in 1890 to transfer to her sister real estate valued at about $75,000, and $5000 in cash, which she had on deposit in banks in this city, under an agreement that the property would be returned to her on demand. At the time of the transfer of the property Mrs. Robinson was being sued by Mrs. Catherine Williams to recover $10,000 damages for slander. Mrs. Schmitt was then living in San Francisco. As soon as she learned of her sister’s trouble she came on here and ad- vised her sister to convey to her all her property and whatever money she had in order to prevent Mrs, Williams from re- covering any part of the judgment in the event of her success in the action. This proposition, Mrs. Robinson says,was made in the office of her Jawyers, in the presence of & witness, and it was accepted by her immediately. She then transferred all of her property to her sister for the consid- eration of $1, with the understanding that it would be returned to her at the termina- tion of the suit which was brought against her by Mrs. Williams for slander. The action was tried and resulted ina verdict in favor of Mrs. Williams for 6 cents damages, When that suit was con- cluded Mrs. Robinson made a request to her sister that she reconvey all the prop- erty back to her. This she refused to do, hence the present suit. Mrs. Robmson and her sister, Mrs, Schmitt, are the daughters of William Kain, who died in 1868, leaving a large estate, including valuable property on Greenwich and Franklin streets. No appeal has been taken from the ver- dict of 6 cents damages in the slander suit. The Mrs. Schmitt referred to in the fore- going telegram is the wife of J. L. Schmitt of the firm of J. L. Schmitt & Co., stock- brokers, 6 Merchants' Exchange building. Mrs. Schmitt herself was not to be seen last night, but her husband stated that the matter was very complicated. No denial is made of the claim of a transfer to Mrs. Schmitt nor that a reconveyance would be made at the proper time. It is explained that at the time of the death of the father (William Kain) in 1868 the daughters were very young, and that they made a trust deed to their mother, which was forgotten or not entirely under- stood by them. TUpon the death of their mother in 1890 the property was devised by will to the children. Later on, when a suit against the Manhattan Elevated Rail- road was instituted for damages to the property involved, their attorneys discov- ered this trust deed, and have raised a question as to the rightful ownership. Mrs. Robinson’s conveyance to her sister was prior to this, and now Mrs. Schmitt, upon advice of her attorney, wishes to have the question settled by the courts be- fore any transfers are again made, ¢laim- ing that any action now might tend to greatly complicate matters. RACES AT SARATUGA. Canadians Won Most of the Events in the Regatta. SARATOGA, N. Y., July 17.—Perfect weather, a well-nigh perfect course and close contests in the several events made the first racing day of the National Asso- ciation of Amateur Oarsmen a success. One race 1n particular will be long remem- bered. Itwas theintermediate eight-oared shell race, and for the last half mile the prows of the two boats cut the water on even terms, Then, with spectators cheer- ing, steamers ‘* whistles shrieking, cox- wains yelling and every man of the sixteen pulling for all that was in him, the stem of tae Wachusetts boat crept inch by inch to the front and crossed the line two feet in advance of that of the Melrose crew. The men from Worcester, Mass., were 8o de- lighted with their victory that they re- mained at the finish line a quarter of an hour and alternately cheered the Phila- delphians, who had pushed_them so hard, and themselves before paddling to their boathouse. In the other events Canada carried off nearly all of the honors. The day opened with still water and a cloudy sky. About noon the sun came out and a light brezee sprung up from the south. It blew de- cidedly in line with the course and was never strong enough to more than ruffle the surface of the water. The course was from the flag buoys at the north end of the lake, opposite Thomas Lake house, straight south three-quarters of a mile to the flag buoys and return, finishing at the starting line. All except the eight rowed this course and the men had the wind on their backs going and in their faces on the stretch. The eight-oared race was started down the lake and rowed oneand a half miles straightaway, finishing where the othersdid. The course was well marked out and only three small launches followed the crews. In one lauuch were the umpire and the members of the regatta com- mittee. There were barely 200 spectators present, and they were lost in ample space fur- nished by the bluffs and lawns of the lake house, from which the start and finish were seen to excellent advantage. YThe first event was started promptly at 8 o'clock, Tt was the first of the senior singles. Ruhmore finished several lengths ahead. In the second heat of the senior singles, John L. Hackett defeated White- head, McKay and Cresser by three lengths, First heat—B. A. Ruhmore first, Fred Hawkins second. Time, 10:20. Second heat—Jjohn L. Hacket first, Fred Cresser_second, J.J. Whitebend, Boston, third; R. McKay, Argonaut R. C., Toronto, fourth. Time, 10:0437. Third heat—W. 8. McDonnell, B. C. Ch\eagn, first; R. N. Johnson, Burrard let, Vancouver, B. C., second; Charles Bulgar, Albany R. C., third; E. N. Ather- ton, Hartford R. C., fourth. Time, 9:544. St g Cattle-Thieves Caught.

BOSTON, Mass,, Jaly 17.—The American Board of Foreign Missions has received the following letter from Rev. William 8. Ament of Peking on the effect of the war between Japan and China: “‘As to China, people may talk of great internal reform and a gengyal renovation of th'e Government, but there is no evi- dence of any change at present. Personally, I expect no reforms, except under com- pulsion. Things will go on as they have in the past, and the only hope is from a development from within. No sledge- hammer blows from without will break the hold of this empire on the past; but the little plant, truth, working from within, will do this some day. There is a faithful body of people who are working and pray- ing for this end. “if there is any growth in China, I am afraid it will be more in the line of mili- tary enlargement and a desire to geteven with Japan. The war has utterly failed to arouse tne nation—in fact, the nation, as & nation, knows nothing about the war, and no lessons can be taught the officials be- fore the people are instructed. The growth must be from the lower strata upward, as it has been in all Jands. Hence, I look for a patient continuance in the usualhines of work, being assured that our first duty is to sow the gospel broadcast and let the truth do_ its work—perfect work. Our reat need now is a boSy of trained native Shrixtiam who are alive to the situation.” MISS CONSUELO WILLWED Not Frightened by the Ex- perlence of Her Mother, Mrs. Vanderbilt. Milllons of the New Yogker's Gold to Go to the Bride of the Duke of Mariborough.. * CHICAGO, I, July17.-—A special toa morning paper from New York says: Un- deterred by the matrimonial Infelicities of her mother, Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, daughter of Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt, who re- cently was divorced from her millionaire husband, William K. Vanderbilt, is about to become engaged to the young Duke of Marlborough. Both the parties in this contemplated union between blue blood and hard cash are young, very young, but they move in the fashionable set of their Tespective countries. The present Duke of Marlborough is mainly celebrated for his American step- mother, Lady Beresford, formerly Mrs, Hammersley, formerly Miss Lily Price of Troy. Mrs. Hammersley is distinguished for numerous reasons, among theém that she married the Duke's father in 1887 i the City Hall, Mayor Hewitt officiatip, and afterward honoring the blushing bride by kissing her aristocratic lips. Then, too, she restored the ancestral halls of the Marlboroughs by expending ,000 of the money left” by her previous husband, Mr, Hammersley. In 1891 the Duke died, but the American, Duchess was not to be “dowagered” so easily, and last May she made her reap- gearanee on the matrimonial stage, and lossomed forth as- Lady William Beres- ford, the wife of one of the Prince of Wales’ jntimate friends and a former confirmed bachelor. Then she left the Marlborough ancestral halls, and the young Duke had them 4il to himself. : Growing tired of the company of his an- ©estOrs’ portraits he plunged Into the sol- emn clyflaof London society, where he met Mi88 Vanderbilt. Anybody could fall in love with a girl worth two or three times as much as the late Miss Anna Gould, so that the Duke found no difficulty in losing his heart. Miss Vanderbilt is 17 years old, and. while not transcendently beautiful, is vet pleasing and has winning manners. She made her social debut last winter at the horse show aud attracted much attention by the simplicity of her costumes and the democracy of her ways. Sheissaid to be rather domestic in her tastes. Of late she has contracted the bicycle habit, but this will no doubt be overlooked by the Duke, in view of the fact that marriage with her will enable him to make further repairs to his ancestral halls. Just how Mr. Vanderbiit looks upon the rumored union is not known, but it is ger- tain that he is very fond of his children and that he will not permit his daughter to contract an undlitable match. Mrs, Vanderbilt refuses to discuss the rumored engagement, and Vanderbilt st all times denies himself to reporters. AR, St i TBE SITUATION SERIOUS. Wyoming Indians Threaten the Idves of Bettlers.

Y., July 18.—It now looks as thoughk the sportsmen of Dallas, Tex., are sincere in their desire to make the Corbett - Fitzsimmons battle a go. Plans for the arena, which is to be built for_the occassion, are already completed and will be shown to-morrow. The draw- ing of the interior representsa huge am- Fshzxthuter, with accommodations for 52,- people, distributed as follows: Unre- served seats, 32,060; reserved seats, 17.688; seats in boxes, 1406; seats for press, 652. The diagram representsan arcaa claimed to be larger than any mentioned in ancient or modern history since the days of Titug, AD, 172, The reserved seats are all marked out distinctly and numbered, As early as last week tickets were in de- mand at Dallas, g0 much so in fact that a book of orders for fifty box seats was cleverly abstracted from Becretary W. K. ‘Wheelock’s desk. The thief’s enterprise is doomed to disappointment, however, as the orders are worthless and the numbers will be replaced. DISSOLUTION SALE.
